Twelve Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers, part of Kingston Freeport’s fleet renewal strategy, are headed to Jamaica, enhancing the terminal’s performance and sustainability.
Twelve Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers departed today for Kingston Freeport Terminal Limited (KFTL) in Jamaica.
As WorldCargo News previously reported, this order was booked in Cargotec’s Q3 2023 order intake.
The twelve Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers contribute to a fleet renewal plan aimed at enhancing performance, reliability, and sustainability within the terminal.
In addition to Kalmar straddle carriers, KFTL’s equipment fleet includes Kalmar reach stackers, ECHs and terminal tractors.
The Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers for KFTL are connected to Kalmar Insight – a performance management tool that turns data into actionable, impactful insights.
As part of the agreement, Kalmar will also deliver a comprehensive spare parts package to support the ongoing maintenance of the machines by local technicians.
Established in 2015, KFTL is a strategic transhipment hub in the Caribbean and part of Terminal Link, a joint venture between CMA CGM and China Merchants Port (CMP).
